New Yasso Fruit Bars (Strawberry Chocolate Crunch and Strawberries & Cream) Review

 







Fro-yo girl here. Yasso introduced three NEW Greek yogurt and fruit bars in late March. The new flavors are Strawberry Chocolate Crunch, Strawberries & Cream, and Creamy Mango. All three flavors feature Yasso’s creamy Greek yogurt and real fruit. 

I found two of the flavors at Walmart in Burbank, CA, for $5.23. Pavilions also carries some of the flavors for $6.99, and Instacart has them for $8.09. A box contains four individually wrapped bars. Yasso recommends that you let the bars sit at room temperature for two minutes before consuming. I did allow the bars to thaw but still didn’t find them to be creamy.

Strawberry Chocolate Crunch Bars feature strawberry-flavored Greek frozen yogurt dipped in a crunchy milk chocolate coating. The crunchy bits are quinoa crisps. One bar is 140 calories with 4g of protein. I’ve had the other Yasso Crunch bars, and the chocolate coating is really good. I also enjoyed the milk chocolate coating for the Strawberry Chocolate Crunch Bar. The chocolate coating is thin and crunchy. It does fall off easily. The chocolate coating doesn’t complement the strawberry yogurt as much as it complements the other flavors they offer. The strawberry yogurt part is slightly icy and it doesn’t have enough yogurt flavor or enough strawberry flavor. The strawberries are blended into the yogurt. One bar is 140 calories, 6g total fat, 16g total carbs, 13g total sugars, and 4g protein.

Strawberries & Cream Bars are made with real strawberry Greek yogurt. The strawberry puree is blended into the yogurt. There was an icy edge. The flavor was okay – it didn’t have yogurt tang and it didn’t have enough strawberry flavor either. It was sweet but not crazy sweet. I think it would be better with lowfat or full-fat yogurt. One bar is 80 calories, 0g fat, 14g total carbs, 12g total sugars, and 4g protein.

Yasso bars are all-natural, healthy treats. They’re also gluten-free and kosher.

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.

I think the chocolate covered strawberry bars are terrible, had same issue with ‘icy’ strawberry yogurt and the crunchy chocolate pieces falling off all over the place! Hard to eat and not nearly as good as their other versions.
